Infrared spectra of mixtures of heated and unheated clay
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is frequently used for archaeological studies related to fire, allowing, among other things, researchers to distinguish between unheated and heated clay minerals. However, heat signatures are not always clear‐cut in infrared spectra of bulk sediments, as spectra occasionally appear with ambiguous absorbance bands attributed to hydroxyl (OH) in clay minerals. This paper presents an experimental study …
Three Types of Early Chalcolithic Prestige Stone Vessels from the southern Levant
Three types of stone vessels from surveyed and excavated sites in Israel are presented and discussed: bowls with very small lug handles attached to the rim, bowls decorated with an incised row of lozenges on their exterior and chalices with a solid pedestaled base. The first two types are usually made of limestone, while the chalices are made of basalt. Each of the types was found in at least two sites and are associated only with Early Chalcolit…

The Peqi'in Cave
In May 1995, a unique Chalcolithic burial cave was discovered at Peqi‘in, Upper Galilee, Israel. Surprisingly, since Chalcolithic burial caves were known mainly on Israel’s coastal plain, this natural cave yielded one of the richest assemblages of ossuaries, burial jars, and other ceramic vessels ever found, many bearing iconographic presentations hitherto unknown. The cave also contained the skeletal remains of at least six hundred individuals. …
Steatite beads at Peqi'in
Dating a Chalcolithic Burial Cave in Peqi'in, Upper Galilee, Israel
In May 1995 an impressive karstic cave possessing dozens of burials dating to the main phase of the Chalcolithic Period ( ca. 4500–3500 bce) was discovered in Peqi'in in the high hills of Galilee in northern Israel. It was subsequently excavated over the course of the following months. The large amount of unique ceramic ossuaries and the variety of burial offerings shed light, for the first time, on this critical societal development period in a …
